Bug#666206: mpg123: outdated information in the package description

Package: mpg123
Version: 1.13.7-1
Severity: minor

<--  snip  -->

 For full CD quality playback (44 kHz, 16 bit, stereo) a Pentium,
 SPARCstation10, DEC Alpha or similar CPU is required.  Mono and/or reduced
 quality playback (22 kHz or 11 kHz) is even possible on 486 CPUs.

<--  snip  -->

This was perhaps useful information in the last millennium when it
was added, but today even two of the three "full CD quality playback"
examples are so obsolete that they are not even supported
by Debian anymore...

Please drop this section.


<--  snip  -->

 This package contains output plugins for several audio systems, including
 OSS/Lite, the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) on Linux systems,
 the Enlightened Sound Daemon (esound), the Network Audio System (NAS),
 and others.

This section should either always be kept up-to-date or also be dropped.
